No match to my Sebring either. My car had a fairly noticable chip near the front emblem that I tried to fix. I left it on to dry thinking it may lighten up but of course it never did. Finally had a body shop fix it.

whhen you first apply it, it doesnt match, but as it cures overtime it starts to blend in much better. make sure u shake well too

Suzuka blue comes out dark as well. I just ended up putting a very light touch up so it wasn't as dark. Better to have a 1" unmatched paint then seeing the black. At least from far it isn't as noticeable than the black primer.

I've used color matched spray cans from paintscratch.com for ~ 15-20 years. Excellent results. They will add flex if needed for painting a bumper. I must have bought & used 20 cans, & never had a mis-match. I've painted whole bumpers with excellent results.
